How much formula?

Hey ladies,
My little girl is almost 6 months and is formula fed. We have started solids, but know that milk is first priority. I am just wondering how much your babies are consuming if also formula feeding? My little one is sleeping pretty well all the way thru, but doesn't finish her bottles during the day. She is a very healthy size so I am not worried about that, just want to ensure I am giving her enough nutrients.
Thanks

We have 4 x 200mls during the day and 2-3 solid feeds xx i have a big boy on my hands, 10kgs, but in proportion with hsi height! Its my understanding that around this time they dont need as much milk, some babies drop to having around 600mls a day.

Bub was 6 months yesterday and is now having 4 bottles a day after dropping the 3am feed. Each bottle has 180ml, but she rarely drinks the whole bottle. Most of the time she'll drink between 120 - 150ml. She's now having 3 solids a day as well.
